But local directories and electoral rolls are usually at libraries/local history centres/archives locally. So you would need to find someone in the area who could do a look-up for you, or pay the library/archive to search on your behalf. nell

Hi Alison a local directory of the time would list all the streets and the head of the house. Colette xxxxxxxxxxxx

You could try the Electoral role. Available at the local records office I think.

Try your local library, they hold many records on addresses and who lived there.

does anyone know how you find out who lived at a certain address in, say 1937/1938 in London ?
